Greetings Earthlings. Happy Earth Week! Back in the day, both Girl & Boy Scouts had the motto "Be Prepared" but today the Girl Scouts have apparently replaced that motto with The Girl Scout Law which includes "use resources wisely" & "make the world a better place".

Greetings Earthlings.

Zack Porter, Executive Director of Standing Trees returns to the show for an update. As...

Greetings Earthlings & Happy Spring Equinox which takes place between March 19-22 in the Northern Hemisphere. Ostara will not be pleased that the U.S. Forest Service's ‘timber target’ decisions (their words not ours ) is putting the climate at risk, undermining Biden's critical climate goals, and violating federal law. Surprise! That according to the Southern Environmental Law Center (and why woul...

Greetings Earthlings. Once again we are coming up to that time of year when tyrants everywhere need to watch their backs because of their sins.

Meg Sheehan & Katherine Harrelson of Community Land & Water   returns to the show for the lat...

Greetings Earthlings. Presidents Day starts the week off and we're hoping you'll stick with the one we have and not go with the one who will destroy near everything in the USA.

We'...

Greetings Earthlings. As you may know, The Enviro Show was founded by two Earth First! malcontents long ago and now and then you may have heard us go on about the importance of direct action in the struggle to literally save the planet.
